In a recent interview with People, Simpson opened up about the hardships of having a career while being a mom.

"Motherhood is the best thing I've ever experienced - and the most challenging," the star explained. "On some of the days of Fashion Star, I'm awake before [Maxwell] is awake, and I'm not home until she's already back to sleep."

She added: "That's only happened about four times, but it makes the day awful. I definitely need to see my baby."
